I had forgotten how much I like places like this in moments like this.

It is a weekday morning and busy, hungry, half-dreaming, half-awake people stroll up and down the cafe front.

I am hunting - hunting for inspiration. There is nothing like a place full of people at somewhat limited space, who know they are bound to see and be seen. And the inspiration is not far behin: a pair of bright green pumps here, a pop of pink and blu from under the darker top clothes there or a very bold out-of-the-spring fashion columns ansamble of moka leather jacket with princess like sleeves paired with orange scarf and floral beige dress, cool sunglassess and a fling-style bag to accompany all that of course(but of course).

I reflect on my own style. Inevitably! I used to consider myself elegant, but somewhat edgy lady. None of that is present anymore. As years pass by I find myself settled in this way more relaxed and slightly on the casual side style. High heels are no longer a must, not even when going to work or meeting some old friends.

Even in my high-heel versions of an outfit, they are still far away from strict, clean and skinthick. And it is not a matter of body structure or energy issue, it might be me having given up a bit on all of my ambitions and tahta long-time visualization of the super-dynamic perpeto-mobile person, who radiates driectionate determination at all times.

Well, I guess, the inspiration really got me and I surrenderred - two colorful rings and some head and hair accessories later, I am ready to go back to the colorless office and use it as the blank canvas it is to start creating what we call ...work.

Ms Fanasiya's reflection of the day - So, you'd better capture every single moment of it


Magical...The winter sun is upon us. Shining bright, but warming slight. I am happily taking a sunbath, hoping it will last for more than a a minute or two.


Today is all about happiness. Giving it, sharing it, feeling it. A hand-reach away. Right at this moment happiness is expressed in a turtle face. Small, ceramic turtle figure, which my little son is painting in bright candy colors. And I fully enjoy looking at his face, full of exitement and cerenity at the same time. There it goes, my moment of perfect oblivion.



And the reality check is just a glimpse away, as I suddenly notice thre is more paint on his clothes and my fingures than on the turtle. Fun comes with consequences. And is an essential element of happiness. So much so, that by X-mas time all commercials are injected with "merry" spirit, to quite reduculas extend sometimes.
Just the day before I heard a customized version of a favourite children's X-mas song, which projects a phone as the main character. The moment I heard it, it wasn't funny anymore. It was sad and pathetic. And my opinion matters. At least this is what this article says:
Marketing to Moms: You’re Doing It All Wrong

And being happy becomes a steady trend to follow if one perceives himself/herself a modern person. My professional social network says just about the same in today's news:

Ms Fanaisya's Reflection of the day - It is snowing

It is snowing in paradise, just like that as I apply the letters on the pc screen one by one, a handreach away, the snowflakes are falling down one by one, not fast, not slow, jsut fast enough to create the moving white blanket. All countours start merging, colors adn shapes and forms all melt into one. This is the first real snow for this year and I am loving it. Oops, a car just ran by and left the first tyre tracks on the road, breaking the fairytail oblivion, I had just sunk in and bringing me back to reality.

Ms Fanasiya's reflection of the day - Autumn sunshine

Yet another lovely day in paradise. The autumn sun is shining bright, mild wind blowing, the air smelling of autumn leaves, scattered around the ground just like the beginning of a whimsical fairytale.

All creating this sweet atmosphere of total oblivion, which somehow keeps out the upcoming cold, the economical crisis, dripping through the daily news, the instability and promises for big changes coming our way.

So, I enjoy the weather for like fifteen minutes and get pulled back into reality just in time to hear on the local news:

There is a suspect hold responsible for the massive cars put on fire in the close neighborhood. So, I quickly recall the tension and fear I had experience two evening ago, when I had to go out for the night and leave my car parked next to the subway station.

Then the global news kick in and I recall the 10 sec from "Quest means business", which I came upon yesterday, while I was flipping the channels , where he was saying that UK has a back-up plan in case the Eurozone falls apart.

Hm, let's see if there is something more refreshing out there - in my favorite escape form - the Fashion shows, I love to watch. And this is what Stacy and Clinton have to say just as I am on my way to work:

"Work doesn't always speak for itself. It is a part of the whole package…"





Ok, if you say so. And off I go towards a hard-work day.
By the time I get to the office, it is already time for the local "farmers protests" to break the news. Grain producers - not happy with the government support, and our office coffee talks are just in sync with the breaking news - we wonder what our salaries will be like after the end of the year reviews...
and before you know it - the sun is behind the mountain hills again and it is time for some dinner time wisdom:

If a woman has to choose between dedicating her time and efforts for taking care of other people and taking care of her own family, which one would you choose?
